Went to the doctor yesterday.....

Went for my annual obgyn (hope I am not over sharing) check up and thank God my doctor is on top of things! She noticed some things my regular doctor had not (that is one reason I am switching regular doctors) and it explains a lot with regard to my weight gain. But.....I still lost 5 pounds since last weigh in. SCORE!!!!

I am excited about the information that she gave me and now I have to put it into action. I did a small work out this morning which is a start.....after beeing sick for a month body has been a little (actually a lot) weak. 

A times are a changing :-)

9 Pounds Down!!!!

With my job they have a "hold the stuffing challenge" it is a way to encourage employees to not over eat during the holidays. I weighed in right before Thanksgiving and I weighed in again yesterday. I was so excited for a variety of reasons.

1. It was the holidays I pigged out
2. I had a wedding over the holidays, did not pig out, but ate well
3. I knew I was going vegan so I ate all the things that I would not be able to it.
4. I baked and baked and baked

So the fact that I was still down 9 pounds was a miracle in my eyes!!! Now all I have to do is get back to working out on a daily basis. Tomorrow is day one! I am going to get at least 20 minutes in......

Vegan.....

A while ago I decided to go vegan again. Why? I want to get my body and mind in the habit of eating less processed foods. My goal is to cook the majority of my meals from scratch, not to eat out that much, and to use be more aware of the things that I am putting into my body.

Will I be vegan forever? Not sure....I am doing this in six month increments. In six months I will evaluate my weight and health. I would love to work back in seafood and other items, but I am not sure yet.  We shall see.  My weaknesses are pizza and shrimp. These are things that I will probably crave, but I know I am not eating in moderation right now.

So we shall see......
